Hello,

Welcome to HCM,

Since you started having leg cramps yesterday before taking Duphaston, it cannot be the cause and leg cramps is not a recognised side effect of duphaston. The usual side effects are migraines/headache, nausea, menstrual disorders and breast pain/tenderness, bloating/weight gain.
Usually electrolyte abnormalities and low calcium in the blood are the main cause of leg cramps. When my patients have frequent leg cramps, I check their vitamin D level, calcium and electrolytes. If abnormal correct and if not use a supplement rich minerals and it corrects the problem.
Take Care
